HAPPY NEW MERRY CHRISTMAS YEAR! If you don’t like Cricket (oh no! We love it!), the Tennis, 80’s movies or New Year’s Eve fireworks, there’s not a whole bunch for you this week. Except maybe the 2011 Dr Who Christmas Special. Besides, it’s summer and unless it’s raining you should be… doing whatever it is you want to do that involves television.
